Introducing 30three Collective
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO BUSINESS ADVICE
We are a modern business advisory firm focused on Strategy, Risk and Optimisation
GOOD ADVISE SHOULDN'T COST THOUSANDS
Growing businesses deserve the same clear analysis that larger organisations take for granted, without a proposal, a retainer or a lengthy engagement.
We help owners see what is working, what needs attention and where the opportunities are. The approach combines operating experience, independent research, structured analysis and modern technology. The aim is simple. Make professional business analysis useful, understandable and accessible. A risk caught early, before it is built into the way the business runs, is cheaper to deal with than one discovered after it has become a habit.
MEET OUR FOUNDERS
MAE FEARN
Mae founded 30three Collective on the belief that a growing business should be able to get quality advice without a large consulting budget.
Mae brings a wealth of experience in business operations and risk management across a range of sectors, including financial services, hospitality, e-commerce and sport. This broad spectrum of expertise shapes her practical approach to managing risk, focusing on the importance of simplifying and enhancing the way businesses operate.
As the founder of 30three Collective, Mae plays a pivotal role in shaping the direction and assessment strategies of the organization. Her primary focus is on delivering professional business analysis that is not only useful but also straightforward and easy to comprehend. This approach empowers business owners and their teams to gain clear insights into what aspects of their business are functioning well, what areas may need improvement, and where there are potential vulnerabilities that could pose risks. Mae is deeply committed to promoting informed decision-making, especially growing businesses that often find themselves constrained by limited resources.
Through 30three Collective, Mae aims to make that insight more accessible: clear findings, useful recommendations and a straightforward view of what to consider next. By identifying issues early and supporting more informed decisions, she hopes to help businesses protect their customer experience, strengthen their operations and build a solid foundation for sustainable growth.
TU FEARN
Tu brings a practical, hands-on perspective to 30three Collective, shaped by a career in hospitality across Australia and New Zealand.
Having worked his way up from the bottom to senior and executive chef roles, he understands the ins and outs of restaurant operations—from opening restaurants and building kitchen teams to keeping food quality, costs and service on track.
Tu’s guiding principle is simple: cut costs without compromising quality. He looks for efficient ways to organise kitchen and service operations, helping restaurants run smoothly while delivering a consistent experience for customers.
Tu has also shared his cooking on television, appearing on TVNZ’s New Zealand on a Plate and Whānau Living to name a few.
